This is a self-reflective film about the poor working conditions within the film industry during Japanese occupation. A film within a film, it realistically portrays the situation at the time with sophisticated camera work. Not only does the heroine quit during the middle of the shooting, the investor is indifferent to the film’s budget overruns. Young-il, who was in charge of production, gets sent to jail for pilfering from the public funds. With its dynamic camera movement, sophisticated editing, and well-crafted storyline, this film is a rare find among Japanese era films.
